I'm glad he's challanging, as Matthew Llyod and Quintin Lynch got off on similar ones in the previous weeks. On the back of the Buchanan one as well...

If they get the high contact down a notch to body then he may escape with a reprimand.

He won't get off.

It was just a stupid thing to do in the last game of the year.

It was completely unnecessary & he should plead guilty.

Michael was late & deserves to be suspended.

It was a rookie mistake & I hope he learns his lesson.

You haven't even read the thread have you? Surprise yourself and try to understand exactly what's going on.

I do agree that given the total lack of intensity in the game due to Blues obvious tanking and almost total lack of tackling it WAS stupid and Newton maybe deserves a week for stupidity, espcially if means he gets rubbed out for Sandy also. Could help them in quest for unprecedented 4 in a row!

Was clearly late & is something Michael must learn from - as he has been borderline a couple of other time this year. Will cost him at an important time for MFC if keeps doing late bumps. He is a big boy and maybe limited ablity to change course quickly but needs to judge better given AFL policy.

On a lighter side Byron' almost classic hip and shoulder on Waite was a rare highlight during the circle work on sunday night. Waite saw Byron coming and before Byron pulled out Waite threw himself backwards and landed on his bum - almost in the middle of the G. Problem was Byron missed him totally!! :lol::lol:

On the Morning Glory, they said that Newton would miss for Sandy if he is suspended for the AFL

They were guessing.

I have seen the incident now several times and the contact by Newton's shin to the back was nowhere "near high contact" and far softer than most marking duels. It looked bad front on but was nothing from the rear view as shown on Foxtel. The rear vision actually shows Newton trying to turn his body away from the player and he succeeded with evrything bar his shin. When I compare it to Buchanan's it is laughable. It was late but was minimal contact and he should at the very worst get it reduced to a reprimand if he doesn't beat the charge altogether.

I'd say perhaps Newton has already learnt his lesson. I agree that his actions were stupid but he's not being charged for that. The MRP are limited to choices of Intentional, Reckless and Negligent.

funny how it appears the MRP havnt viewed all the footage, or perhaps didnt view any at all.

and they clearly havnt look at their own guidelines or compared the incident to recent incidents to make sure they are consistent...

what do they actually do then? make guess based on the umpires written report?

I haven't seen the incident ... and I dont care

CONTEST CONTEST CONTEST

There are faults in every legal system similiar to the tribunal system.

Melbourne never contests and it's about time it did!!!

Good stuff. I thought at the time he might be in a bit of trouble given the inconsistency of the tribunal. I'm glad he doesn't have to go into 2008 with that hanging over his head.

MELBOURNE forward Michael Newton has beaten suspension at the AFL Tribunal and escaped with a reprimand for charging.

Newton will now be eligible to play in Melbourne's first AFL match of next season, as well as for the club's VFL affiliate Sandringham in their finals campaign.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
